Memes for Social Good 2: Revenge of the GIF for the April 1st NonProfit Commons Meeting

Posted Wed, 03/30/2016 - 20:54 by Rhiannon Chatnoir

This Friday, April 1st, TechSoup'sNonProfit Commons in Second Life will feature a presentation on using memes for social good. Last year we explored memes as elements of culture that often get passed on from person to person, and virally propagate around the internet. They can be images, videos, audio files and even sayings or bits of text. This time, we will focus on animated GIFs and short video memes, how you can use them for social good, and go through some of the online tools you can use to create them.
